The Himalayan Institute has been and continues to be home to a service-driven community of yogis, volunteers, and faculty-in-residence. Our community is held together by dedicated students of the Himalayan Tradition, who value the principles of universal respect and collective responsibility.
We perform our actions driven by these core tenets of our mission:
Wisdom Tradition
Our endeavors are distinguished by their living connection to an ancient wisdom tradition of the Himalayan Masters, expressed through a unique offering of online and in-person mission programs.
Service
Our commitment to service both at home and abroad incorporates our global humanitarian impact through projects in Africa and India as well as a commitment to sustainable partnerships with the local community at our world

The accommodations were comfortable and the food excellent! I enjoyed the pace of the retreat which left room for reflection/alone time. The lectures were thought provoking. I am new to the Tradition, but was able to feel included as a newcomer.
I hoped for a bit more silence overall. An example, at mealtimes it was impossible to sit quietly to eat. I tried sitting in the dining annex at an empty table and invariably someone would sit down and pepper me with questions. Recommend that you provide one table for silent eating - just put a sign on that one table that says "In silence". Thank you.
